Robert (Bob) Stewart - 1934-2013
It is with great sadness that I must tell you of the sudden death of Bob Stewart, an Old Sedberghian and a loyal friend of the school. My own memories of Bob go back to 1950 when he was the Captain of the soccer team ( see photo #6 in the recent group of pictures on the Sedbergh website) and I was a brand new student at Sedbergh. He was a caring senior who always had time to listen to the fears and dilemmas of all of us, the little juniors. We looked to him for support and, in the rough and tumble days of those years, he never faltered to make us feel that we were important members of the school. For me, Bob has always represented the best of Sedbergh values - compassion, generosity, straight-forwardness and a positive attitude. He made a difference to me. He will be sorely missed by those of us who knew him. Our condolences go out to Nan, to Bob's entire family, and his many friends.
